Play Station 4 emulator for Android
Description
PCSX4 is an open-source experimental PS4 Emulator project written in C++ for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS and Android.
The first and the only emulator which allows you to play PS4 games on both PC & Mac.
It uses OpenGL, Vulkan and DirectX 12 as its back-end API renderers and runs most of the PS4 exclusives on high-end machines with some glitches as it is still in beta.
Features
PS4 is based on Arm architecture so PCSX4 runs natively on Android systems by taking advantage of OGRE, Vulcan API and Orbital hardware-assisted virtualization.
PCSX4 renders games smoothly without compromising the visual quality. Android OS is also supported with Metal (API).
You can now play PS4 games on iOS & Android at variable frame rates with buttery smooth experience as most of the titles can now run at 60 FPS and beyond.
If you have a dedicated GPU that has Vulkan support, then you can expect a decent performance.
PCSX4 supports multiple input gaming devices. You can even use mouse input for first-person-shooter games.
PS4 & XBOX-ONE controller has plug and play support on PCSX4.
This app is still in experimental version. It’s not ready for general use yet. Some games can’t run smoothly in all Android OS devices. Check che table below for more info.
There will be frequent releases which you can grab from the download section.
